All Html helpers are c# extension methods that are used to generate Html type of string. then why did they not called function/Method instead of Helpers?
Because they all generate Html type of element which returns type is “MvcHtmlString” and It is a type of “HtmlHelper” class. All the Html c# extension methods are inside the “HtmlHelper” class. And the people remember them easily.
Example:
public static MvcHtmlString TextBox(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string name);
